Madam's Awakening Shocks The Whole World-Chapter 118 - 116: Panic
Chapter 118: Chapter 116: Panic
Xi Yue looked at Qin Qin with complexity, seeming almost unable to believe that such a young girl would know Loh Lei, and moreover, when he observed her making a call just now, the person on the other side of the line appeared to be quite respectful, prompting him to scrutinize Qin Qin more closely and ponder about her real identity.
As these thoughts ran through his head, the cellphone in Xi Yue’s pocket rang. He took it out and saw it was a call from his superior. He walked aside to answer it, "Hello, Director."
"Did you arrest a girl named Qin Qin?"
Xi Yue glanced at Qin Qin and nodded, "Yes, there is one. She was reported by citizens as a human trafficker, so we brought her in for interrogation."
After hanging up the phone, Xi Yue spoke to Qin Qin quietly, "Miss Qin, you may leave now. I’m sorry for the misunderstanding."
Qin Qin looked at Xi Yue and stood up, "Good then!"
The elder policeman glanced at Xi Yue, who gave him a look, and the elder policeman nodded, smiling gently at Qin Qin, "Miss Qin, I apologize for the inconvenience."
The elder policeman quickly opened the door, and Qin Qin walked out of the interrogation room.
Outside, Nannan’s mother and grandma, upon seeing Qin Qin being escorted out by the elder policeman, rushed forward furiously, "Officer, why are you letting her go? She’s a human trafficker! My poor Nannan is still missing, why don’t you interrogate her thoroughly!"
"Madam, you are mistaken. Miss Qin is not a human trafficker at all!" insisted the elder policeman. Although he didn’t know exactly what the director had said, the fact that the director had personally called to order her release indicated that Miss Qin’s background was undoubtedly significant, and she couldn’t possibly be a human trafficker.
"How is she not a human trafficker? It was she who said my grandson would be taken away. She must be in cahoots with those people, just to take revenge for what I said to her at the supermarket," Nannan’s grandma ranted furiously, completely unreasonable.
Nannan’s mother, on the other hand, was crying too much to speak.
"Director, what brings you here?!" one sharp-eyed cop noticed, as Director Fan rushed in, wiping sweat from his brow.
Director Fan had been eating dinner with his wife and son when he got the call from Mr. Loh Lei, and he hurried over without even daring to finish his meal. Luckily, his home wasn’t far from here, and he arrived after a few minutes of running, arriving sweaty despite the cold weather.
"Xi Yue, which one is Miss Qin?" Director Fan, wiping off his sweat, walked straight towards Xi Yue, and when he saw Qin Qin beside Xi Yue, his eyes tightened, and then he revealed a fawning, eager-to-please smile, "You are Miss Qin, right?"
Qin Qin nodded, and Director Fan quickly laughed, "Miss Qin, it’s all because my people were unaware. They misunderstood you. Loh Lei has already called me to verify your identity. I apologize on their behalf and ask for your forgiveness."
"Director Fan, there’s no need to be so courteous. I am aware everyone is discharging their duties impartially. I’m not one to fuss over such trivial matters," said Qin Qin, offering a slight, gentle smile.
Relieved to hear Qin Qin’s response, Director Fan exhaled deeply, "Miss Qin truly is generous. Who dared to accuse Miss Qin wrongly?"
With a sharp gaze, Director Fan looked around until his eyes narrowed upon seeing the stunned Nannan’s grandma and mother, "And who might these two ladies be?"
"I... I am Nannan’s grandma! Sir, how can you let this woman go? She is clearly a human trafficker! Why would you release her?" Nannan’s grandma looked incredulously at those present. What in the world was happening? Wasn’t that girl a human trafficker? Why was the director treating her with such panic and concern?
"Nonsense, was it you who reported Miss Qin as a human trafficker? Do you know who she is? Miss Qin is an acquaintance of Mr. Loh Lei. How could she possibly be a human trafficker?" Director Fan hastily rebuked Nannan’s grandma.
"But... but she said my grandson would be taken away, how could she possibly know that my grandson was abducted?!" Nannan’s grandma rebutted in a low voice unwillingly.
"Others might not know, but Miss Qin would definitely know!" A loud voice rang out, and then Loh Lei’s figure appeared in front of everyone. He was still wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, staring sternly at the crowd.
Standing beside Loh Lei was his first secretary, a man about the same age as him.
Nannan’s grandma was taken aback, turned around to look at the newcomer, her eyes widened. She recognized the recently appointed Loh Lei, but why was he here too?
Upon seeing Loh Lei, Director Fan wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead and hurriedly went up to greet him, "Mr. Loh Lei, why have you come?"
Loh Lei glanced at Qin Qin, nodded and smiled at her, then faced Director Fan with a somber expression, "I was worried, so I had to come personally."
Fortunately, he was also nearby handling some affairs, which was why he could arrive so quickly. These people actually dared to bring Miss Qin into the station, clearly lacking foresight.
"Yes, yes, it’s all because my subordinates didn’t understand the situation properly, which led to Miss Qin being brought into the police station," Director Fan hurriedly explained.
Loh Lei nodded, then went straight to Qin Qin and asked softly, "Miss Qin, have you been mistreated in any way?"
"I’m alright, just a bit thirsty from the questioning."
Hearing that Qin Qin was thirsty, Director Fan personally ran to the water dispenser and poured a glass of water, "Miss Qin, here’s some water if you’re thirsty."
Qin Qin looked at Director Fan and smiled, "Director Fan, you’re too kind."
She took the glass and slowly took a sip, "It was a trouble for you, Mr. Loh Lei, to make a trip here."
"No trouble at all. They were careless in their duties, I had to come over and check on things," Loh Lei said, as his gaze swept over the surrounding police officers, causing several officers to hang their heads low. Loh Lei’s stare was still quite intimidating.
Xi Yue watched Qin Qin with a complex look. What kind of influence did Qin Qin have that even Mr. Loh Lei would make a personal visit, and why did he address Qin Qin as Miss Qin? What kind of title was that? fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
"Director Fan, what exactly is going on here? Give me an explanation," Loh Lei said as he waited for Qin Qin to sit down. After she was seated, he sat next to her and looked sternly and coldly at Director Fan.
Director Fan didn’t dare to sit and could only stand while prompting a nearby officer who knew the details to explain.
The explanation was given by the older police officer who had brought Qin Qin into the station; he talked while pointing at Nannan’s grandma and mother nearby.
Nannan’s grandma and mother had already been scared speechless; now they finally understood that the girl was someone they could not afford to offend, far from someone they could provoke.
The older officer spoke for a while before he finished explaining.
Looking at Nannan’s grandma and mother to the side, Loh Lei asked, "Was it you who misunderstood Miss Qin as a human trafficker?"
